γενέσθαι -- γενέσθαι. “Is Plato
really responsible for the clumsy and ill-sounding repetition of γενέσθαι?” Richards, who would omit the first γενέσθαι and write κατὰμέσας for καὶμέσας. A similar correction
had already been suggested by Herwerden. Plato himself is not in the least averse to
echoes of this kind: see on VI 511 E.

ἕωθεν. ἄνωθεν (see cr. n.), which appears also in v, is approved by Richards, but adds nothing to the meaning. ἕωθεν is of course the morning of the twelfth day as
μέσαςνύκτας above was the midnight of the
eleventh: cf. δωδεκαταῖος— ἀνεβίω 614 B
and 616 B note

κείμενον. See cr. n. ἤδη is inappropriate in itself, and has little authority besides A^{2}.
